Part 2 Request for Noticeboard Funding

Two noticeboards will be installed to provide important information to visitors. On arrival, at the entrance, there will be information on the intentions of the project and the source of funding.

There will be general information concerning health and safety with specific warnings against swimming in the river, which is only a few hundred metres downstream from the sewage treatment outlet for the whole of Tavistock town. It will also have opening times, contact details, requests to take litter home and similar information.

The second noticeboard will be placed a short distance into the first field so that it will be encountered soon after commencing the walk, and will focus on educational information, wildlife to look out for, ecological vulnerabilities of the valley and where to find further information.

The application includes a request to make benches and picnic table vandal-proof.
